Speaking of voting, I like this article by Mark Brandly:

Don’t know how many times you will hear this gem:
“You didn’t vote, so you don’t get to complain!”

I just found out that Ron Paul write-ins in Florida don’t count.
What a wonderful democracy.
Yeah, it’s sad. But we know it won’t really sway the election anyway. Writing in is just to feel better about supporting someone we actually trust rather than engaging in lesser-of-two-evilism.
Yeah. Oh well. We know we’re right anyway.
I just can’t help but get ticked off when I see some comment on the internet about how “libertarians don’t advocate things like socialized medicine because they are all a bunch of white middle-class phonies who have never experienced something like having a disease and not being able to pay for it.”
Sorry. That was kind of off topic. I was just venting over some comment I just read on the Vice Magazine website.
Hahaha, take a look at this, voting machine changing votes due to miscalibration:

Funny how my tablet has never needed to be ‘calibrated.’
I’m a go vote soon. Do you guys dare me to vote in my Guy Fawkes mask???
I’ll totally do it.
Do it do it do it do it do it.
And film it, why don’t you.
I’ll see if I can get a photo, dunno about filming it ![]()
Oh yeah, they don’t allow that do they?
I dunno about showing up in a mask.
Remember cops have killed people because their 3 Musketeers candy bar “looked like a gun”.
That’s true. One of the cops might think he’s there to do some V-style terrorism.
Not to mention that Guy Fawkes’ Day was the day before…We need to stop the Guy Fawkes copy-cat terrorists.
This is nowhere near as exciting as the New Hampshire (or what state was it?) primary.
What exactly do you mean, Marko?
Gentlemen! It is now time!
I think that the winner will be Mitt Romney. And I am not happy about it
As a side note, Tuesday is ruled by Ares (aka Mars), the God of War. Fitting day to hold elections.

I really, really hope it’s Obama. Fortunately, I think he’ll win.
Like Jon, I don’t want what’s coming to be in any way blamed on not being tyrannical enough. Sadly, I know it doesn’t matter that much as they’ll do it anyway.

Being that they are of part of the media segment which markets itself as ‘angry/edgy/hip/tough/snarky liberal bloggers who don’t take no shit’, that is sustained by wealthy white bourgeois, I’d say this kind of ad hominem venom spitting that they always do is a sign of some serious psychological projection.
The people that write and read this kind of stuff tends to be the upper/middle class college audience who like to imagine they have some intimate understanding of minorities and the lower classes and What’s Really Going On, which you can always tell within moments of reading anything written in their sneering, condescending tone.
+1 Another “hoping for Obama to win” libertarian reporting in. Another 4 years of Obama might really give wing to the notion of secession in America.
I mean I stayed up most of the night for the results and we were commentating on here and cheering Ron Paul on. I sure won’t be staying up today.
Maybe it was Iowa, dunno.
